A technician demonstrates how to install the Ella shower column kit with the Ella five-piece fast fill faucet set on an Ella walk-in tub. This video shows how to enjoy a hand-held multi-function hand shower or an oversized rain shower head.
The installation process begins by removing the metal screw collar, metal, and rubber washers from the shower base assembly. A thin bead of silicone caulk is applied around the metal collar, followed by replacing the rubber washer and adding another bead of silicone to the outside of the rubber gasket. This ensures a proper seal before inserting the shower column base into the pre-drilled hole on the tub deck.
Next, the metal washer and screw collar are attached to the bottom of the shower column base and hand-tightened without over-torquing. The Allen screw at the base of the column is tightened, allowing for height adjustment, with a recommendation of seven inches of clearance from the tub deck to the center of the on-off lever. The elbow joint is then attached to the shower column base, and the supply line is secured to the bottom of the shower column, being careful not to over-tighten to prevent damage to the rubber washer and potential leaks.
The video continues by showing how to attach the shower column to the supply line on the underside of the five-piece faucet set. The hand shower extension hose is connected to the elbow joint, and the multi-function hand shower is attached. The riser tube is secured onto the shower column base, and the oversized rain shower head is carefully screwed onto the upper angle arm. Finally, the upper angle arm is inserted into the riser tube, the mounting collar is slid down and hand-tightened, and holes are drilled for the mounting collars to secure the shower column risers to the shower wall using Allen screws.
